the governor's hands in this case, and this case only,

MR. RAVER: The justification, number one, as
|
|
4
|
I tried to say in here, is without these protections and

axiom. It is equally possible that after the public coommit-
|
|
19
|
ment of that today that the attitude toward education and
|
|
20
|
toward political relationship to education in the State has
|
|
21
|
changed considerably. I don't know the answer. That is
